RE: Cleaning/Waxing
I'd agree on the S100. Easy to use. I've been using one of the Mr. Clean car wash kits. It works real well. The final rinse is real fine as it goes thru a filter. Doesn't spot and dries quick. I use a detail spray wax like meguiars. Good lint free towels too.

I haven't washed mine yet...it's not dirty enough...It hasn't even been WET yet! Do you guys cover the speedo with a plastic ziploc bag or something to help prevent the dreaded "water ring" from forming under the glass? Or just spray and pray? And yes, it will be washed at a self-serve car wash.

RE: Cleaning/Waxing
Any "car wash soap" will do just fine. I use Meguiars NXT wax and Mothers chrome polish. Also,.... there isnt a need to cover the speedo with any type of plastic bag,... Harley designed them to ride in the rain.Just avoid using any high pressure while washing,.... you can damage gaskets and seals with the high pressure washers. Just use your ordinarly pressure from your tap and you will be fine.
